75% of the people on this board will lie because they have no lives. The other 25% don't know either, but will speculate so they can scream "I told you so".

Assuming you live in a state where this is legal.

Any guesses to what will be hit the hardest once restructuring layoffs start?

Any ideas why the drop? Typically in these kind of cases where there is a huge exodus, stock price goes up because the street favors these kind of things.

How many folks have senioritis? Try as I might it has been hard to stay focused this week. After Dec 10th I think I will be able to get back in it regardless of the date, but this week is tough. 25 years VSPer

I agree. A lot of a$$hats here.

Other than this general info, the company officials didn't provide any further information about the launch of the first consumer 5G hotspot. I understand that the company wants to promote the new technology and be the first on the market, but I... — read more 

Heard from a source at corporate that the board has approved to cap the severance paid out to 30 days only regardless the tenure. Could be pure speculation.

Long term fXO'r here... i have heard mixed answers on this. I have had my work Cell number for many years, and no personal cell - anyone know if VZ will let us port these former xo cell numbers for our continued use?

I saw a post that indicated call center work was going to the fXO center in Michigan. I have also heard that Verizon is asking the FCC to revoke the XO CLEC license. Is that BAU, to complete folding XO in to VZ, and give them the planned VZ work, or... — read more 

Less generous offer the next time? I doubt it; the company wants people to leave and offering less will not do that. Folks will ride it out to the bitter end. What was offered this time was not that great once it is taxed. If Hans wants techs to go... — read more

One could easily use the data from the VSP for a doctoral dissertation in several fields. I really hope VZ lets a University have the data. Admittedly it would be much better even with a small set of interviews.

I know many will say we can’t, but everyone need to review our jobs on Glassdoor! Be honest! Also use it to blast the awful leadership of the ceo!!! If everyone does it would raise some eyebrows.. (even if the few say it won’t)

Rumor has it the 5G work and antennas will be done by the union in the northeast . I say that it is a b---s--- rumor and contractors already doing work . Anyone hearing anything different ?

Anyone know how we will be notified on December 10th? Will it come from HR or our direct supervisor? And will it be early in the day or towards end of day?

On a leave as of current and not sure how to put in my resignation. (Phone/email or both?)

Was wondering how this move would help the company. Is it a move used to demotivate others and make them move out ?

Any truth to the rumor that managers left may have to manage mixed groups of wireline and wireless techs in each of the buisness and consumer groups in the New Year.And that certain groups will be completely merged

Didn’t push the button. Looked outside and got a job offer - slightly higher pay, bigger responsibility with more work, but much better job security. Why is it I don’t want to leave Verizon? Am I a fool to stay?
